GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS WILL BE CRUCIAL IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19. 

WITH HANUKAH, CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S COMING UP IT’S VITAL THAT EVERYONE CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK AND NOT GET TOGETHER WITH BIG GROUPS OF PEOPLE SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER. HE NOTES THAT WITH THREE OUT OF FOUR STAFFED HOSPITAL BEDS CURRENTLY IN USE STATEWIDE, HOSPITALS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE ANOTHER SURGE.

SOME NUMBERS HAVE BEEN IMPROVING BUT ARE STILL WAY TOO HIGH SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS WITH MORE HOLIDAYS COMING UP, IT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO WEAR A MASK AND SOCIALLY DISTANCE BECAUSE HOSPITALS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE ANOTHER SURGE IN CASES.
